Lethal Lawyers by Dale Manolakas  

lethal lawyers book coverAbout Lethal Lawyers by Dale Manolakas:

TOP 100 LEGAL THRILLER! ~~eBOOK ONLY $2.99 & PAPERBACK AT COST~~
Infighting, carnage, and sexual favors are the real rule of law at the Los Angeles law firm of Thorne & Chase! Complex characters immerse you in the cutthroat culture of big money law firms—firms where partners and associates must win at all costs. They cannibalize each other battling for money, power, love, clients, and ultimately their own survival. With blue-collar idealism and onerous student loans, first-year associate Sophia Christopoulos covets the firm’s money and power. But her new friendships, love, and success come with the shocking price of disillusionment, murder, and betrayal. When Sophia is hurled into a murder investigation, she is torn between ethics and firm politics, as well as love and truth. Fighting to save her career and life, she becomes the star witness—and then a target.
5-STAR REVIEWS! “Warning – don’t start reading until you have time!” “Author Dale E. Manolakas delivers with fully-realized characters who explode off the page. Visceral. Sensual. Alive. Highly recommended.” “A strong, scathingly entertaining commentary on the Los Angeles legal community. Keeps the reader guessing until the end.” “Wow! Powerful look into the law business!”
FROM THE AUTHOR
Lethal Lawyers is unique because of its authenticity and candid revelations. Although fictionalized, the many characters and legal incidences are based on actual persons, cases, and events in the practice of big law firm litigation in Los Angeles. Extensive experience and interviews, both of senior management and at the associate level, insured its accuracy, legitimacy, and realism.

Author Bio:
TOP 100 AMAZON BEST SELLER’S RANK FOR MULTIPLE BOOKS

After a life time of writing poetry, books, nonfiction, and legal documents, it was author Ray Bradbury’s friendship and encouragement that finally inspired Dale E. Manolakas to pursue writing as a career. He taught her that the characters wrote the book–she didn’t. Raised just outside Los Angeles by a surgeon father and a homemaker-author mother, Dale E. Manolakas had always aspired to an acting career, but also had to make a living.

Dale E. Manolakas earned her B.A. from the University of California at Los Angeles, and M.A., M.S., Ph.D. and J.D. degrees from the University of Southern California. She is a member of the California Bar, had the privilege of clerking for The Honorable Arthur L. Alarcón at the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, was a litigator in two major Los Angeles law firms, and a senior appellate attorney at the California Court of Appeals, as well as an Administrative Law Judge.

Before that she was a teacher, primarily at the high school, adult school, and university levels, and holds a public administrative services credential. In addition, she has pursued her passion for acting, primarily on the stage, but also in film and television. She is a member of both Actors’ Equity and SAG-AFTRA. She also has raised three very independent daughters and lives with her husband, a retired attorney, in an otherwise animal-free environment in California.

Tangled by Elizabeth Reyes  

Pageflex Persona [document: PRS0000035_00037]About Tangled by Elizabeth Reyes:

Just when Romero thought he’d conquered his anger issues…

Now that Izzy has earned her credentials to teach at a college level, Romero is doing his best to be supportive. Even after she informs him she won’t be teaching.

She’ll be assisting a professor–a recently divorced professor whom she’ll work with side by side.

Isabel loves being home with her kids, but she’s ready to get back to her career–back to a world where she can enjoy some in-depth political conversations with someone who really gets it. The brilliant Political Science professor she’s assigned to assist seems to be the perfect fit.

But when those conversations get a little personal, Isabel isn’t sure if she’s just being silly or if the professor is sending insidiously veiled messages.

Romero’s knack for picking up on her unease only complicates things, especially because Isabel also has a big Christmas surprise for him. With suspicions awakened, Romero’s interpretation of Isabel’s sneakiness stirs that dormant rage he hasn’t had to deal with in years, and emotions become furiously Tangled.. (less)

Deadly Crossing by R.E. McDermott  

DEADLY-CROSSING_FB_optAbout Deadly Crossing by R.E. McDermott:

With a 4.6 star average rating on over 550 Amazon reviews, Deadly Crossing is reduced to $0.99 for five days only!

A phone call. A common enough event, sometimes welcome, sometimes annoying, but seldom life changing. Or so we assume. But assumptions are dangerous things, and the reality is we all live one phone call away from disaster. One cheerful ring away from news of a tragic accident. One muted buzz from learning a lifetime of memories have disappeared in a raging house fire.

And so it is for Tom Dugan, rolling though the London night, the woman he loves in the taxi beside him. Life is good by any measure — until his phone rings, alerting him to the arrival of two old Russian friends with a very big problem.

Dugan’s attempts to help his friends rescue an innocent girl from the Russian mob plunge him into a world he’d scarcely imagined, endangering him and everyone he holds dear. A world of modern day slavery and unspeakable cruelty, from which no one will escape, unless Dugan can weather a Deadly Crossing.

Author Bio:
I grew up on the Gulf Coast and a seagoing career just came naturally. After graduation from the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy, I sailed as a ship’s officer for a number of years and then spent a decade in shore side ship management before becoming an independent (i.e. self-employed) marine surveyor in 1986. Some years later I formed a company specializing in ship construction management and supervision. I’ve been a lot of places, seen interesting things, and lived for extended periods in both South America and the Far East (Singapore and China). By far the most interesting aspect of travel (and life in general) is the people you meet along the way, and I’ve had the good fortune to encounter a lot of interesting characters. Bits and pieces of some of them make their way into the characters of my novels.

I write the type of stories I like to read. For me, that means ordinary people forced by circumstances into extraordinary situations. I dislike stories in which the hero is some combination of brain surgeon/nuclear physicist (or who has some equally far-fetched skill set) and who just coincidentally happens to be an ace helicopter pilot and a fifth degree black belt in several different martial arts. Like the rest of us mortals, my characters are normal people who screw up from time to time and have to live with the results.

The Mayan Red Queen: Tz’aakb’u Ahau of Palenque by Leonide Martin  

DD_Red-Queen-FinalAbout The Mayan Red Queen: Tz’aakb’u Ahau of Palenque by Leonide Martin:

The ancient Maya city of Lakam Ha (Palenque) has a new, young ruler, K’inich Janaab Pakal. His mother and prior ruler, Sak K’uk, has selected his wife, later known as The Red Queen. Lalak is a shy and homely young woman from a nearby city who relates better to animals than people. She is chosen as Pakal’s wife because of her pristine lineage to B’aakal dynasty founders ̶ but also because she is no beauty.
Arriving at Lakam Ha, she is overwhelmed by its sophisticated, complex society and expectations of the royal court. She is intimidated by her mother-in-law’s hostility and puzzled by her husband’s aloofness. Sak K’uk resents any intrusion between herself and her son and judges Lalak harshly for every inadequacy. The official name she confers on Lalak exposes her view of the girl as a breeder of future rulers: Tz’aabk’u Ahau, the Accumulator of Lords who sets the royal succession.
Lalak struggles to find her place, fit into court life and prove her worth. She soon discovers that Pakal is smitten by a beautiful woman now banished from Lakam Ha by his mother. Pakal’s esthetic tastes color his view of his homely wife, and winning his love is challenging. Facing shattering loss and heartbreak, Lalak must summon her inner strength and unleash hidden powers. She sees that she can play a pivotal role in Pakal’s mission to restore the spiritual portal to the Gods that was destroyed by earlier enemy attack. Through learning sexual alchemy, she brings the immense creative force of sacred union to rebuild the portal. But first Pakal must come to view his wife in a new light.
Set in the height of Mayan civilization, this is the story of real historical people, including one of the most powerful women in the Americas, who is virtually unknown. This is Book 3 in the Mists of Palenque series about four remarkable Mayan queens. Each book stands alone as the story of a different royal woman; they can be read in any sequence although the timeline is continuous.

Field Journal: In modern times, ten years after the discovery of the Red Queen’s tomb, archeologist Francesca is studying new research about this mysterious royal woman in Mérida, Mexico. She teams up with British linguist Charlie to decipher an ancient manuscript left by her deceased grandmother. It provides clues about her grandmother’s secrets that send them to a remote Maya village, where they explore her family’s links to ancient Palenque.

Author Bio:
Leonide (Lennie) Martin: Retired California State University professor, former Family Nurse Practitioner, currently author and Maya researcher. My books bring ancient Maya culture and civilization to life in stories about both real historical Mayas and fictional characters. For historical accuracy, I researched Maya archeology, anthropology and history from the scientific perspective. For indigenous viewpoints, I studied with Maya teachers including Aum Rak Sapper, Guatemalan Priestess-Daykeeper and Hunbatz Men, Itza Maya Elder-Daykeeper. I lived in Mérida, Yucatán, Mexico for five years to apprentice with Hunbatz Men, becoming a Solar Initiate and Maya Fire Woman in the Itza Maya tradition. The ancient Mayas created the most highly advanced civilization in the Western hemisphere, and my work is dedicated to their wisdom, spirituality, scientific and cultural accomplishments through compelling historical novels.

I’ve won Writers Digest awards for short fiction (2008) and The Visionary Mayan Queen: Yohl Ik’nal of Palenque, Book 1 in the Mists of Palenque series (2014). The Mayan Red Queen is a nominee for the 2016 Dan Poynter Global Ebook Awards.

I live in Oregon with my husband and two beautiful white Angora-mix cats. My hobbies include gardening, preserving food, walking in nature, cooking and wine-tasting. The last is greatly augmented by living in the north Willamette Valley, Oregon’s famous wine growing region whose Pinot Noir rivals the finest French burgundy. I’m an avid reader and write reviews for most books that I read on Amazon and Goodreads.
